Instructions

• Ways of firmware

  1. The program FlashTool - allows you to install the factory firmware and the smart will become like from the store. If inside the archive there are files system.img, boot.img, etc. - it means flashing under flashlight.
  2. Installing firmware or minor updates through custom recovery. From the store, the usual factory recovery is installed. Recovery is a program inside a smartphone that can be run without an installed OS and perform some actions to restore or clean the smartphone. Enhanced recovery allows you to not only install updates, but also make a full backup, restore backups, clear the memory of a smartphone, install patches, etc. There are various recovery options, such as CWM, TWRP, Carliv, MIUI, etc. You can learn how to use them in the corresponding topics at w3bsit3-dns.com. If the archive .zip firmware has a folder META-INF - then the firmware under the recovery, do not unpack it! So you throw the file into the phone and install it through the recovery (otherwise some individuals unpack it ..).
  
• FlashTool firmware recommendations

  ATTENTION - to avoid unnecessary problems ALWAYS run FlashTool with administrator rights (right button - Run as Administrator), disable User Account Control in Windows!
  • In the flashlight settings, the Options-Option checkbox should be checked - put both into DA DL with CheckSum.
  • Disable antivirus if problems and errors occur.
  • Change the USB cable and / or port if problems or errors occur.
  • Ideally, there should be no Russian letters, spaces, special characters and hieroglyphs on the way to the firmware and Flashlight.
  • If the firmware through the USB flash drive does not start, make sure that the driver for the firmware is installed:
  1. Open the device manager.
  2. Connect the DISABLE smart to the PC.
  3. A USB device should appear for a couple of seconds - MTK Preloader VCOM, then disappear. If the device has its own COM port, for example, COM7 or COM5 and there are no yellow icons, then everything is fine, if not, continue, or reinstall the driver.
  4. Until the device disappears, you must have time to right-click on it and install the driver manually. Explain how to install the driver will not, look on the Internet for your version of Windows, I will clarify that the drivers usually do not have a digital signature.
  5. When install the driver by force, you can try to flash it, it usually looks like this: open Flashlight, select the scatter file in the folder with the firmware, check that all the checkmarks are EXCEPT PRELOADER, set the Download Only mode, and press the Download button.
  6. Connect the DISABLE smart to the PC, it should appear in the device manager MTK Preloader VCOM and start the firmware.
  P.S. For the highly gifted - the OFF Smart is not just blocking and turning off the screen, but FULL OFF! happens....
  
  If the smartphone continuously reboots on the logo:
  - It is necessary to flash through the flashlight. Everything is the same - install drivers on MTK COM / MTK Preloader Vcom - the device appears at the time of the smartphone reload for 1-2 seconds. (when the smart screen turns off) and flashing as usual.
  How to turn off?
  1. If CWM custom recovery is installed - boot into it by pressing the Gr + button at the time of the reboot, Advanced - Power Off
  2. If the stock recovery is loaded into it by pressing the Gr + button at the time of the reboot, and Power Down - turn off the smart.

Maybe I do not understand something like that, but in applications where entry and purchase is provided using fingerprints, this function works for me.

Guys, what will happen if you install the firmware through the default prog (otherwise I’m doing it because they wrote that "if not the firmware or another file, the phone will" die "")?

About the phone в†’ wireless update в†’ menu: update from device memory.
And can I use to get the root?

through the default prog install the firmware

From another smartphone, 99.9% firmware will not install, no need to be afraid.

1. Another request to add problems with gps is looking for fast but does not lead correctly. After 5 minutes, ponders all.
- I have a vrdi leads normally, how many satellites does it find?
2. When listening to music on any player, if you make a maximum, the music immediately stops, and then turns on and so constantly until the sliders are reduced by 2 divisions quieter.
- there is no such thing, theoretically it can be with a smart connected to the AUX input of any technology, I can’t check it.
3. When headphones are inserted or when it hangs, it reboots 2 times longer.
- did not notice this
4. Strong battery consumption.
- yes, increased consumption
7. Add screen auto adjustment depending on the lighting.
- there is in the settings of the screen, turn on
8. Decrease screen brightness by min settings. At night as the searchlight shines. My wife burns 2 times less and much more comfortable.
- miravizhin
9. Translate menu to 100%
- transfer sent to the manufacturer
10. Correct the synchronization of Google applications. No application has been transferred to the new phone. Contact only. On the tablet, which bought a week ago, everything was restored immediately.
- it works far from all smarts, and here the manufacturer has nothing to do with, this is Google.
11. Fingerprint does not start in Yandex Money and Sberbank. A check mark is placed, but not activated upon reboot.
- did not try

vkorne77,
And in this way you can install the firmware already with the root? (ps .. I do not understand Pts in this case)
If so, can we tell where to get it?

Hi everyone, well, in short, yesterday I presented my smart to my wife)), before him she went with Letv 1s x500 so they compared with him:
1. nobody compared the sound from the external speaker with other devices? in the S7 is quieter and not clear sound. It would be nice to add to the report can programmatically correct.
2. The screen on the drain blues strongly when compared, but it turned out a lot of screen settings, now everything is fine.
3. As for the camera, the camera still liked the macro more when comparing, it turned out to be pretty good, but the colors on Letv are more saturated and the details are more on S7.
4.Video writes well on sensations more than 30 k \ s, as it seemed to me, it looks like due to the technology of miravizhin, but I can be mistaken.
5. It would be nice to add to the report the function of video recording slou-mo, such iron and the functionality is scarce.
6. Immediately I flew through the air, I do not remember the version, but I am glad that they are engaged in improvement.
7. Yes, and on energy saving, it seemed to me that the flow is too big. and here already compared with my xiaomi Redmi note 3 pro.

Hello! Guys, on the Elephone S7 4/64 the mobile Internet does not work, everything is in order through Wi-Fi, but it’s worth going out and everything, there is no connection to the Internet. At first I sinned on satellites and interference, but my wife’s mobile Internet goes and there is no connection to s7. Maybe you need to turn it on in tinctures? Sim card for four years on different phones was, there were no such problems.
